I had a dream that I was in my bed, and I thought it was a dream, so I did the watch rc and it displayed different times, but I didn’t go lucid. I said “Huh, thats cool. If I was dreaming, I’d go do something.” and I went back to sleep in my dream… and didn’t wake up. why is this?
You didnt take advantage of the situation. Having a goal of something to do in a lucid dream is a good idea. Say for example you REALLY wanted to fly. Perhaps you may have thought “ooo look! im dreamoing now i can fly” and probably have a nice LD
It could also be that you are to tired to do anything other than falling back “asleep” in your LD. You need some mental stamina to fly around like a maniac.
When you do homeworks for three hours you get mentally exhausted, not physically. If you were to have a dream about doing your homeworks for three hours, you would probably wake up very exhausted and have a bad day. At least I think so, so that’s why IMO you sometimes don’t bother doing anything when you become lucid.
